Successful Topical Treatment of Pigmented Purpuric Lichenoid Dermatitis of Gougerot-Blum in a Young Patient: A Case Report and Summary of the Most Common Pigmented Purpuric Dermatoses

چکیده
We report the case of a 12-year-old girl who presented a rash with reddish-brown patches on the trunk and extremities indicative of pigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatitis of Gougerot-Blum (PPLD). The histological findings were characteristic for PPLD, thus supporting the diagnosis. Topically administered corticosteroid led to a fast resolution of all symptoms. PPLD is not seen commonly in young patients and is most often described as responding poorly to treatment with topical corticosteroids. However, the case presented here shows both that PPLD can be seen in adolescence and that the condition may be treated successfully with an intense regime of topical corticosteroids. PPLD belongs to the group of pigmented purpuric dermatoses. The 5 most common pigmented purpuric dermatoses are summarized with respect to their clinical and paraclinical characteristics.

Background and aim: Pigmented purpuric dermatoses are a group of chronic and recurrent skin diseases resulting from lymphocyte-mediated leakage of erythrocytes. No effective treatment has been suggested for these conditions. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of oral pentoxiphylline in the treatment of pigmented purpuric dermatoses.Materials and Methods: ...
